Thank you, Boston Bob. I think most of us know all your bio's, honey. You do such a great job of keeping us informed about the other heros in our lives.
We also appreciate your little joke as well.

DESAFINADO
If you say my singing is off key, my love
You would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love ?
I wish I had an ear like yours,
A voice that would behave
All I have is feeling
And the voice God gave
You insist my music goes against the rules
Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools
I wrote this song for you
But you don't care
It's a crooked song, ah,
But my heart is there
The thing that you would see if you would play the part
Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex
And now all I have developed is complex
Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand
That even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to say
How much I love you
And all that matters is the message that I bring,
Which is: my dear one, I love you

'Widow' Downs 26 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
NEW YORK (AP) - A 100-pound woman ate 26 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes Wednesday at a New York restaurant, winning the World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship.
Sonya Thomas won $8,000 for the contest at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Times Square but said she was disappointed in her performance.
"I could have done better," she said, adding that she was aiming for 30 sandwiches.
Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., said she had to catch a train shortly after the contest to make her shift at a Burger King on Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, where she is a manager.
She said she has a naturally big stomach capacity and heavily soaked her sandwiches in water to make them easier to swallow. She said to train she drinks large amounts of water to expand her stomach capacity and practices relaxing her throat.
Thomas, whose normal weight is about 100 pounds, estimated she gained 10 pounds during Wednesday's contest.
It was a close win. Her nearest competitor, Joey Chestnut, ate 25 1/2 sandwiches.
On the eating contest circuit, Thomas is known as the "Black Widow," apparently because she has defeated so many larger men.
She holds numerous world eating records, including 46 dozen oysters in 10 minutes, 11 pounds of cheesecake in 9 minutes, 48 chicken tacos in 11 minutes, 37 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes and 56 hamburgers in 8 minutes.
The event was organized by GoldenPalace.com, an Internet casino and poker room.

and, there's our McTag with his two line aphorisms. Where do you come up with those, Brit?
All my stuff (as far as I can remember) is from songs (unless obviously not, e.g. dys is a poopity head- I don't know any song which has that as a line in the lyrics)
Otherwise, they are song lyric fragments.
And did these feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?

I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Your quiz question for today: how does that song link Manchester with Morocco?
I never did get dys' "wounded head" either, Brit. (oh, sacred head now wounded. What's that from?)
And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
William Blake

Speaking of air, folks, our McTag hasn't sung us a Scotish aire in a looooonnnggggggg while.
Scots, wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led
Welcome to your gory bed
Or to victorie!
Now's the day, and now's the hour
See the front of battle lour
See approach proud Edwards power
Chains and slavery!
Wha wad be a traitor knave?
Wha wad fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!
Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword wad strongly draw-
Free man stand, or free man fa'

Here's some more Monty Python song lyrics:
The Brian Song
Brian.
The babe they called 'Brian',
He grew,
Grew, grew, and grew,
Grew up to be,
Grew up to be
A boy called 'Brian',
A boy called 'Brian'.
He had arms and legs and hands and feet,
This boy whose name was 'Brian'
And he grew,
Grew, grew, and grew
Grew up to be
Yes, he grew up to be
A teenager called 'Brian'
A teenager called 'Brian',
And his face became spotty.
Yes, his face became spotty,
And his voice dropped down low
And things started to grow
On young Brian and show
He was certainly known
No girl named 'Brian',
Not a girl named 'Brian'.
And he started to shave
And have one off the wrist
And want to see girls
And go out and get pissed,
A man called 'Brian'--
This man called 'Brian'
The man they called 'Brian'
This man called 'Brian'!
Judean People's Front Song
There's a man we call our Leader.
He's fine and strong and brave,
And we'll follow him unquestioning
Towards an early grave.
He-e gives us hope of sacrifice
And a chance to die in vain,
And if we're one of the lucky ones,
We'll live to die again.
And here's my favourite:
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]
Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]

Lovely, McTag. Is it true that Robert the Bruce made spiders sacred in Scottland? and, of course, we know about Brave Heart. <smile>
Oh, Sacred head now wounded you didn't guess, Brit.
and there's our Reyn again, folks. Love this line, B.C.
Life's a piece of ****,

Nothing sacred, you funny man.
I just posted something on another thread that I meant to post here. Never mind, someone else might enjoy it.
Well, my goodness, John. Let's see it here.
Letty, since you mentioned it, i started a thread about the danish cartoon that's caused an uproar in the middle east. so far, no one's taken up my offers either to post a better image of the caricature or defend the censorship of such material.

gosh Letty it's in STEREO SOUND,
so much better for the hearing my dear
I looked through your thread, Mr. Turtle. Had I a picture of the cartoon, I would certainly display it. Some folks just want to be critical no matter what the topic, I'm afraid. Right listeners?
John, will take a butcher's at your response. <smile>
